Erythronium 2020
« on: March 09, 2020, 01:54:24 PM »
According to Maureen's Diary we had 24 days in February on which it has rained and so far in March, including today, it has rained for a further 7 days. Not surprisingly the garden, and everything in, is soaking wet :(

Here is my first Erythronium of the season tuolumnense 'Spindlestone'

The first Erythroniums to flower here are caucasicum and an early rogue grandiflorum. Unfortunately the light levels are poor and the ground wet, not the best conditions for taking good photographs.

Steve, very nice Erythronium's. I also have Erythronium caucasicum since a few years, but it always stays with one flower. It does not increase.

One of the many Erythronium hendersonii in the garden.  This one is planted in an acid bed.

E. caucasicum is  not  inclined to increase  much here  in Aberdeen, either.  Rather  frustrating!

Not yet open! They wait for the sun like all of us. I got a few bulbs as japonicum many years ago but am not sure about that.

 Growing  well - but  I think those  are  E. dens-canis, Trond.

The erythronium are trying to hold their heads up, despite subfreezing temperatures on the last few mornings.
